Re: NY Times article about lack of readiness for college

If I recall correctly, in my HS AP Physics B class, I think we had about:
-14-16 5's
-3-4 4's
-1-2 3's
And no 2's (nobody in the history of the program ever got a 2 or 1)
The school achieved these results due to the efforts of a highly dedicated & enthusiastic teacher.

The school to which I referred above was urban, underfunded, and in a poor neighborhood. Moreover, the city's school system as a whole is in terrible shape. They got passing AP Calc scores every few years. It had a great football team though...
